Study Description
This study is trying to find out if adding a new drug (pembrolizumab) to the standard treatment for soft tissue sarcoma, makes the treatment work better. Researchers will compare two groups: one group gets the standard treatment of radiation before surgery, and the other group gets pembrolizumab with radiation before surgery, plus more pembrolizumab after surgery for a year, to see which group does better.
